What you fail to acknowledge is that by going against someone over any disagrement you're hurting not only civility, but you transform yourself into the very thing you're fighting against.

- wildranter 14y agoHell no! Fight them back with better ideas, respect, and equality. But first of all, you have to understand what you're up against, study what they say, find cracks in their logic, and show that you're both on the same side. It's all a matter of perspective.

I think we should not be tolerant to people who violate basic human rights. They either behave or we should find a way to catapult them away.
- drharris 14y agoYou seem to advocate the silencing of religion, a basic human right. Volunteering to be first in the catapult?
- guard-of-terra 14y agoIs arresting people for illoyalty to your god (or even better to a crappy politician) a human right? Because I'm advocating against that.
